Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin is active against insects (para/tipE). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa20-83 from Hottentotta judaicus Alpha-insect toxin BjaIT, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli. Molecular Weight: ~14.4kD Amino Acid Sequence: GRDAYIADNLNCAYTCGSNSYCNTECTKNGAVSGYCQWLGKYGNACWCINLPDKVPIRIPGACR Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20C.
